I tried to create new patch files for new things and mark them stable where possible. I didn't mark the "simple-work" (a workqueue based on swait to avoid a new kernel thread for each of those things where we need to schedule a workqueue or something like that from atomic context, like MCE) with cc stable. The patch where I reverted this timer thingy is Revert-timers-do-not-raise-softirq-unconditionally.patch and it was due to hrtimer beeing broken on 3.18 and has no stable tag. I'm not sure about the multi-queue block stuff (*-mq-* in the queue). You might want take a look. I updated a few patches because I managed to create deadlocks. I'm not sure if it was possible deadlock in v3.14 and I simply didn't trigger if the code changed and it become possible. I remember that the multi queue block code entered v3.12 but was unused and started with v3.14 it gained a user. > > -- Steve Sebastian -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
